Ep. 92 – What Is the Process to Move from One Advisor to Another?

Now that you have decided to change your advisor, how then do you move to the next one? Moving from one advisor to another is a simple paperwork process that only takes days to be completed.  

You can move from one advisor to another within the same custodian, or you can move from both an advisor and a custodian at the same time.  

In this episode of the Secure Your Retirement podcast, we explain the processes of moving advisors and or both advisors and custodians. We also explain why your retirement planning investment won’t change in the moving process, plus the time it will take to complete the transfer.

In this episode, find out: 

  • Recapping episode 90- why you would want to leave your original advisor.
  • The simple process of transferring your account from one advisor to the next within the same custodian.
